>>1003330I'm also a beginning pepperite, and while googling I found a few posts about people that will only water their peppers if the leaves start drooping. Keep in mind that they also do that if it's really hot out, to protect themselves, so check for wilted leaves in the morning or evening when it's cool.
They seem to be able to take quite a lot of drought, at 7+ days of no water mine still looked great.
I'm growing them in a potting soil/perlite mix, with a layer of those clay pellets at the bottom of the pots.
This is the one that's currently the furthest ahead, he grew that root in just a few days after repotting. Might top him somewhere next week if he keeps doing great like that.
